Fisher out of excuses not to play Young

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Titans Coach Jeff Fisher has run out of excuses about why he shouldn’t play Vince Young.

At 0-6, and coming off a 59-0 beating at the hands of the Patriots, he no longer has a good one left.

I’ve said all along the Titans should stick with Collins, and I believe he gives them the best chance to win. I said it at 0-3, 0-4 and 0-5. And at 0-6, I still believe that’s the case.

Granted, Collins’ numbers here on Sunday were downright embarrassing – 2 for 12 for minus-7 yards. But it wasn’t all Collins. I counted at least six dropped passes from his receivers. Those drops kept the Titans from getting anything going. And the way the Titans are playing defense, there’s nothing Collins could have done to change the outcome of this game.

The season is now lost, however, and the Titans have no choice but to give the ball to the backup. What are they going to do? Lose 60-0?

The Titans need a change-up. They need to see how Young will perform. They need something. Status quo clearly isn’t cutting it.
